Meet Ivan Wilzig, the son of a Holocaust survivor who abandoned a career in banking to become a musician who performs, in full regalia, under the stage names “Peaceman” and “Sir Ivan.”Wilzig isn’t only known for his antics on the stage. He’s the owner of Wilzig Castle, an estate in Water Mill near Southampton that’s legendary for throwing some of the wildest summer parties out there.

Last week, he hosted a medieval-themed birthday bash for his girlfriend that featured fire-breathers and midgets, according to Guest of a Guest.

He’s also thrown superhero-themed parties and a rager in honour of the 40th anniversary of Woodstock.
